About Us

The National Archive of Computerized Data on Aging (NACDA), located within ICPSR, is funded by the National Institute on Aging.
NACDA's mission is to advance research on aging by helping researchers to profit from the under-exploited potential of a broad
range of datasets.

NACDA acquires and preserves data relevant to gerontological research, processing as needed to promote effective research
use, disseminates them to researchers, and facilitates their use. By preserving and making available the largest library of
electronic data on aging in the United States, NACDA offers opportunities for secondary analysis on major issues of scientific
and policy relevance.

The NACDA staff represents a team of professional researchers, archivists and technicians who work together to obtain, process, distribute, and promote data relevant to aging
research.
